It will be able to you if a business will be run as the last in your life, giving up all recklessness and caused by the passions of aversion from the mind, making decisions, and [refusing] from hypocrisy, self-interest and rejection of the dictates of fate.

If it's wrong don't do it. If it isn't true - don't say it.

World - changing, life - perception.

If you know the source from which flow human judgments and interests, it would cease to solicit the approval and praise of people.
